I have a few questions on my wiring of the MSD 6AL ignition box and would like the opinions of you who have wired them up correctly.
1.) I have the power lead heavy red wire hooked up to the starter relay, since my battery is in the trunk I have the pos. side of the battery hooked directly to the starter solinoid,than a wire from the solinoid to the pos. side of the starter relay. the instructions say "it should go to the pos. battery post, a pos. battery junction, or the pos. side of the starter solinoid." I feel it is ok were I have installed it, what do you think?
2.) There is a small red wire that is supposed to be hooked up to a switched 12 volt source. I'm wondering were all of you connected this wire to? Can i connect it to the pos. wire that used to be on the old coil? Would that be a switched source?
3.) I was running the MP orange box, the 6AL box takes this out of the eqaution, does it also by-pass the ballast resistor, and silver Wells box as pictured bellow?
4.)The last wire question is about my factory console tach. Has anybody just connected your factory tach into the side of the 6AL box and have your tach work, or did you have to purchase the MSD tach/ fuel adapter part # 8920 to use your factory tach?
